Boys Over Flowers

More like boys over me, or boys on top of me, LOL. Actually it's just a Korean drama that I started watching again after already watching it a few months ago. But it's pretty cool.

Catastrophe

What a week. Although it may not be over yet, I has been quite eventful. Like right now I really want to rest because I’m in pain and I’m just really exhausted. Mainly from all the speed walking I’ve been doing to make the train/bus but hey, not my fault it doesn’t wait for me.

Both the history and geography classes were out today on their own excursions in the field of work. The history people, that’s me, had the chance to go to the Sydney Jewish Museum. We had to arrive at the school at 8.40 unlike the geography people, who were also going to city but in Darling Harbour had to be at school by 7.45. All I can say is sucked in you people. Anyways I got to school and it was early and it was a long wait for the teachers to arrive but then the bus arrived and we were on our way. On the bus, I sat next to Sukhman cause I thought he’d be quiet and not be so fidgety so I could catch up on some of my needed sleep, but what a big mistake that was. On multiple occasions that I did try to sleep I was quickly awaken by sudden movements therefore there was no point sleeping. Not that it wasn’t fun talking, even though I wasn’t allowed to listen to music it was quite enjoyable. But far out, that guy won’t frkn flex. What’s wrong with flexing anyway?

Soon enough we’d arrived after the bus driver already got lost twice on the way. We got out of the bus and man was it sunny. Luckily I was prepared and bought myself sunnies. Anyways there were security guards and they gave us stickers that said school group. Then when we entered they had to check our bags. Man, was I getting freaked out, but I guess they’re just safety procedures. We were told to put our bags away which I didn’t really want to do but no choice there. The first activity was to watch a 10-minute video introducing us to the Holocaust and the events which led to it. It was quite a informative video so it didn’t really touch me. Afterwards we had a survivor speak to us. She told us about all the things she had suffered during those times and that made me teary. The way they’d been treated was very unfair and I didn’t understand why anyone would do that, but then again some people just don’t have hearts. After an hour of this, we were then splitted into our class groups and we went on our guided tour.

The tour was interesting but I kinda got distracted because it was really cold, I could hardly get up the stairs and there were too many things on my mind. But inside the museum it was actually quite beautiful. Like from the outside it wouldn’t seem like that but you just have to visit it. But seeing the pictures and the story of the people, each Jew being killed and murdered without reason. The unfair way of life and the betrayal of the people. It was all too much. I know that if it was me back then I wouldn’t have survived. One of the areas of the museum was the Children’s Memorial and inside is this water feature and each day 1 000 010 drops of water drops each day to represent all the children who had died during this genocide. I thought for a while how lucky I was. To live in a world were race or culture doesn’t matter and everyone is treated fairly. I guess I’m quite happy.

Around 1.30 the tour had ended and we got to eat lunch outside in the park across the museum. We had to bring our own foods but that was no problem. We were just sitting there talking and basically doing anything that would occupy our time. The teachers then marked our names off and we were on the bus, on our way back to school. On the way back, I sat next to Sukhman again because I didn’t really have a choice plus Sukhman’s cool. HAHA. (He doesn’t read my blogs, sucked in buddy, I could full diss you and you wouldn’t even know) I was actually quite tired by then and I just wanted to sleep but again it wasn’t possible because I was sitting next to Sukhman. Luckily like before Fiona and Ivy were sitting in front and he was annoying them and I couldn’t help but laugh. Long trip short, we arrived back to school, safe and sound.

At school, we were just standing and talking. Then we realized the geography people had come back earlier than expected but most people had stayed back and so there weren’t so many people back anyway. I was off to plaza anyway to get Mama her Mother’s Day present and I already knew what to get her. So for once I am actually quite organized and I quite like that. At the plaza I was with Geeth and I didn’t really want to miss the train so I just went to the Asian store to get her the present and I don’t know if I got ripped off or not but whatever, I was just too tired and I wanted to go home. I got the present, caught the train. I’m fast forwarding >>

Basically I got home, extremely tired. Studied for maths exam tomorrow which I’m quite excited about because for once I studied early for it and I feel prepared, well more than usual anyway. I really want to do well in it and up my average because I feel that it’s too low for me. Talking about maths, I think I should get back to my studying and revise as much more as I can.

Laters.

p.s. I only took one picture of the museum and it was an outside one too because I wasn’t sure if we could take a picture inside or not. The picture which I’ve uploaded also includes the bus we rode on. HAHA, not that you actually cared about it.

A Splash of Philippines

Today reminded me of Philippines. Most of the things which had occured, well they seemed to have something to do with Philippines.

I got to dress up today. I was one of the 'Tres Marias'. It was quite enjoyable actually. I'll post some photos tomorrow to show you all the fun things which had happened. But the best part was, it really did feel like I was back in Philippines.

Back to serious. Must study for Maths exam on Friday and also Athletics Carnival - Day 1 tomorrow. Excited but i got a blister from walking today but again, ENJOYABLE so can't complain.

Must wash face now because dad said to.
Laters,..
